Life and career
[edit | edit source]April was born in Dublin but moved to Kilcullen as a kid, when she was about to start school.

She took piano lessons for a few months as a kid and can play the piano and the guitar, though she says she can't play either perfectly. April wrote songs throughout her childhood.[2] April began her music career by uploading songs to SoundCloud. In 2019 she went on tour with Alec Benjamin in Europe.[2] In 2021 she signed to Atlantic Records.[4]
